Aurigny stepped in to secure continued Guernsey to Birmingham Airport flights on 11 March; a vital trade and leisure link between the Channel Islands and the UK’s second city. The service will operate five-weekly, replacing flybe on the route. Aurigny intends to move to daily services later in the year. According to OAG Traffic Analyser, the Isle of Man was the top onward connection from the Guernsey-Birmingham route in 2019, followed by Belfast City and Amsterdam Schiphol.
